I'm interested, but not enough to put money down on it. I too will wait to see how Wasteland 2 fares first before getting excited, though.

And it's still frickin' insane how quickly they got funded. $1,000,000 in less than a day?! I certainly hope they deliver on even half (If not most or even all, of course :P) of what they say they'll do, so people get their money's worth...

Every time a Kickstarter I get excited about nears its end, a new one starts to get me all excited again.

Anyway, I probably will pledge after I get paid this week. I know the money wont come out of my pocket for a while, but I'd still like to have that extra financial support. I'm digging the current concept art.

Edit: 1.5 mil in less than a day. That's nuts, but awesome. It'll certainly be interesting to see what the stretch goals will be, especially the goal amounts.

It really does sound like the closest thing I can get to a Dying Earth RPG. There's some games that actually come close, but they depend on that sort of thing as a plot twist, not fundamentally designing a setting around our Earth having civilizations rise and collapse multiple times over an unfathomable span of time, where ours is but a footnote in the grand scheme of things.

Just a bit of an update and reminder. There is about 48 hours left to go on the kickstarter, so if you want to get in on this project now is the time. The $3.5 million stretch goal has been reached so Chris Avellone has joined the design team! I also upped my donation despite saying I wasn't going to...so much for that.

It will be interesting to see how high this goes. A lot of kickstarter projects seem to get a ton of money in the first couple of days and the last couple of days, with the growth in between being a lot slower. So this has the potential to be the most-funded kickstarter video game yet.

13 hours left at the time I write this. Looks like we will be hitting 4 million. I doubt we will hit 4.5 which is a shame because I want the stronghold. I am giving us 50/50 odds of hitting 4.25 though, so crafting numera should make it in. Yay.

Cleared $4 million (on Kickstarter alone, not counting paypal contributions), meaning this is officially the most-funded Kickstarter video game project ever! Just 2 hours to go, I think we'll have to accept that $4.5 million isn't happening, but $4.25 is still possible. I'm not sure what the paypal contributions are at...

So it's at $4,368,997 including paypal donations now. Apparently they're going to leave the Paypal donations open for the rest of this month and try to hit that $4.5 million stretch goal. Let's hope they do!

So if you haven't donated to this project yet and you're interested then Paypal is still an option.

I want to know who these people are that have +$10K to drop on the funding of a video game. What the hell?

No kidding! After following quite a few KS campaigns, it's become abundantly clear there are some rather wealthy (or crazy) people out there who really LOVE video games. It certainly seems crazy or frivolous, but there are far more ridiculous things to spend money on (buying luxury / sports cars, for instance). At least they're helping to make a bigger / better game possible and some of the rewards are pretty damn cool if 10K is a drop in the bucket to you. I would have loved to play a tabletop game with one of the Shadowrun creators.
